Contributions of Black Americans, Indian Americans, Mexican Americans and Asian Americans to American History.

Santa Clara County Office of Education, San Jose, CA.

The teacher resource guide for grades K through 12 was developed by a multi ethnic committee of educators to comply with the California Education code. "Instruction in the social sciences shall include the early history of California and a study of the role and contributions of American Negroes, American Indians, Mexicans, and other ethnic groups to the economic, political, social and cultural development of California and the United States". The main concept for each unit is identified at the top of each page and further developed in a content column. In addition, the learning activities are identified along with suggested resources. Extensive bibliographies include such things as: books, audiovisual materials, journal articles, pamphlets, picture books, other resource guides, curriculum bulletins, unpublished manuscripts, reports, and human resources. However, those who wish to use this guide should select, expand, or enrich the material to meet the unique local needs of teachers and students. (SBE)
